Shelly and Kelly
is
an animated TV series geared towards preschool-aged children about an
unlikely friendship between a Great White Shark and a Killer Whale,
named SHELLY and KELLY. These two young females embark on investigative
adventures where they solve the
mysteries that their inquisitive minds draw them to.
Story/
Show Arc
Throughout
the
series Shelly and Kelly learn about friendship, loyalty, trust,
overcoming fears, honesty, being different, their environment,
teamwork, sharing, listening and remembering, not to tease, eating
well, size doesn’t matter, beauty is on the inside, fairplay,
sacrifice, and acceptance.
The
playful songs
sung by Stevie’s band help to reinforce the new lessons while
inspiring the children to sing and dance along with the characters.
With
a little help from their Friends
Shelly and Kelly
get lots of help from other sea creatures as they try to answer the
riddles of the sea. TERRY, a 100 year-old sea turtle, is as elusive as
he is wise. Appearing and disappearing in a moment, Terry brings with
him clues to the toughest mysteries. STEVIE STARFISH, a talented wiz on
the keyboards seems to always know how to lead the way in clever song
and melody. Stevie’s dedicated back up band features THE TURTLE TWINS-
inseparable bongo players and mischief-makers and OLI OCTOPUS- the
alarmist whistle blower. But not everyone is happy, EELI is a lonely
electric eel who hides in the rocks because it’s not easy being
different.
Shelly and Kelly understand his malaise: they both have a hard time
making friends because everyone is scared of them.

Behind the Fins

is a Great
White Shark. She is a loner who never sleeps
and wishes she had more friends. Shelly
is embarrassed by her crooked teeth and acts impulsively whenever she
encounters something new. Shelly is naive and is easily distratced by
her constant appetite. She loves learning and
solving mysteries with Kelly.

Whale. Unlike Shelly, she lives in a pod with other Orcas, and seems to
know more about how things work than Shelly does. Happy and athletic,
she loves to jump out of the water, and breathe fresh air above the
sea. Smart and curious, she gets into tight spots following her
sleuthing instincts and relies on Shelly to help her find the
solution. She also wishes she had more friends and is grateful for the
fun she shares with Shelly.
